Prada is Nicole Kidman’s go-to designer lately. She opted for the label’s sheer-sleeved midi dress with crystal piping for the Paddington premiere last Sunday, and on November 26 she looked to Prada’s funkier metallic-purple piece for the Agon Channel launch party in Milan.

Because the dress made such a statement on its own, we’re glad Nicole kept her makeup minimal and elegant. The beehive do with loose waves, however, wasn’t in line with Nicole’s edgier piece, sending mixed messages.
